Designed to meet the needs of today's modern youth soccer coach, Cal South has established a comprehensive Coaching Education program that offers a USSF-approved curriculum of courses for the "Youth Module", "E", and "D" licenses. Through this effort, Cal South provides:

• A program in which coaches can earn state and national coaching credentials
• A system which improves a coach's knowledge of the game, methodology, and teaching methods
• Valuable information and current coaching trends state-wide, nationally, and internationally

Over 45,000 coaches have attended Cal South licensing courses. The objective of the coaching licensing curriculum is to provide all soccer coaches, from the beginner to the advanced, with up-to-date theoretical and practical knowledge, so that coaches in southern California can help ensure that players develop their fullest potential.

All courses are taught by Cal South State Staff Coaches who hold a National Coaching License. "D" Clinic instructors hold either an "A" or "B" National Coaching License. Youth Module instructors hold a National Youth License. All courses must be scheduled through the Cal South State Office. A list is maintained at the State Office and posted on our website.

Many of our courses are partially subsidized by a generous grant from the LA84 Foundation, which was established to manage Southern California's share of the surplus from the highly successful 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The Foundation received $93 million at its inception and, since then, has invested $164 million in sports programs serving more than two million youth in the eight Southern California counties of Los Angeles, Imperial, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura. Cal South received an $80,000 grant from the LA84 Foundation in 2007, which immediately led to scores of subsidized coaching courses for Cal South member coaches, including specialty courses such as the popular "Coaching the Female Athlete" series.

The "E" and "D" courses are also offered in Spanish. Individuals wishing to attend a course or clubs, leagues wishing to host a course may do so by contacting Rolando Uribe, the Latin Coaches Education Coordinator for Cal South, at 626.395.3266.
